Caden bought 4 times as many candy canes as caramel bars. The total mass of candy canes and caramel bars was 1320 g. The mass of caramel bars was 240 g less than that of the candy canes. The mass of 1 caramel bar was 69 g heavier than 1 candy cane.

1. Find the number of caramel bars that Caden bought.
2. Find the mass of 1 candy cane.

	Candy Canes	Caramel Bars	Total
Number of sets	4 sets	1 set
Compare each	1 u	1 u + 69
Total value	780 g	540 g	1320 g

(a)
Mass of caramel bars = 1 set
Mass of candy canes = 4 sets

Mass of caramel bars = (1320 - 240) ÷ 2 = 540 g
Mass of candy canes = 540 + 240 = 780 g

Mass of 1 set of caramel bars = 540 g
Mass of 1 set of candy canes = 780 ÷ 4 = 195 g

Difference in the mass between 1 set of caramel bars and 1 set of candy canes
= 540 - 195
= 345 g

Number of items in each set
= 345 ÷ 69
= 5

Number of caramel bars
= 1 x 5
= 5

(b)
Mass of 1 caramel bar
= 540 ÷ 5
= 108 g

Mass of 1 candy cane
= 108 - 69
= 39 g

Answer(s): (a) 5; (b) 39 g
